Thanks to the EZ 3-in-1 Expansion Pack running in my Nintendo DS’ Slot-2, I finally get the chance to play GBA games that are previously sold-out on Play-Asia.

I used to watch this on Animax not too long ago […]

When one would think about creating a jigsaw puzzle game for the Nintendo DS, one would probably place an empty board with pieces lying around, and have you, the player, move them into place with the stylus. Sounds boring doesn’t it? Trust the Japanese to come up with something more interesting. Jigsaw World: Daigekitou! Jig-Battle […]
